An act relating to the Donor Intent Protection Act

This bill creates the Donor Intent Protection Act to give charitable donors legal options when their endowment restrictions are not followed by recipient organizations. It establishes a private right of action allowing donors to sue in state court within six years of discovering a breach, without seeking monetary damages. The law also permits charitable organizations to seek court declarations about how to interpret or enforce their endowment agreements. Importantly, if a violation is found, courts can order remedies consistent with the donor's original purpose but cannot require the return of donated funds. The bill applies to tax-exempt charitable organizations that manage endowment funds with written donor restrictions.
